Hi, and welcome, Sister! My maternal Grandmother was a black Irish lass, moved to Yorkshire from Galway when she was 17, then living in Thirsk. When she married my (also Irish) grandfather, they emigrated to America and settled in Fall River, Massachusetts, on the same street as the infamous Lizzie Borden! I'm glad you found your way back!
Thank you! That's an amazing story! If you were ever interested in genealogy on that side of the family, let me know, as I love to work with archives here. It sounds like they had quite the trip over to America!
Since we're running down towards Easter comrade, I thought perhaps you might want to join me commemorating comrade James !!!
